BREWER – Andrew George Brountas, 19, passed away before his time April 7, 2005. He was born April 7, 1986, in Bangor, the son of George and Kimberly Brountas. All who knew and loved Andrew will remember him first and foremost as a kind, loving, and caring young man who was profoundly sensitive to the natural world around him. From a young age he was a lover of all creatures, great and small. Throughout the years he was busy caring for all sorts of pets, and then busier catching those same pets when they escaped. Andrew was truly in his element at the ocean. Whether it was the coast of Maine or the sunny beaches of Florida there was always a new discovery to be made. Another one of his favorite places was his family’s camp on Phillip’s Lake. He spent a lot of time there relaxing, fishing, and jet-skiing. As Andrew entered his teenage years, his passion became physical fitness. Hockey, skiing, and weight-lifting were among his favorite pastimes. Spending time with Andrew was always an enjoyable experience and life without him will be extremely difficult for all of those left behind. Andrew will be sadly missed by his sons, Drew and Niko; his fianc?e, Keeley Peasley, of Brewer; his parents, George and Kimberly Brountas of Brewer; his brothers, Nik Brountas of Jeju, South Korea, and Howie Day of Veazie.
